There's a few players being taken over other players and player values that I find questionable, Johnson over Joeckel for example, but things like that do happen sometimes in real life.

For my Titans, it's an overall very good draft that I would be thrilled with. The trade in the first makes sense, but at the same time, from the front offices eyes, I don't think they would make that specific trade because all they gain this year is a 6th rounder. The Titans GM, and coaches are in win now mode so they would want something that would help them this year, pick 25, pick 52, pick120 and a 2nd round selection next year would likely be more likely of a trade.

The only other thing that I really noticed is In the 4th I'd prefer the Titans select either CB Sanders Commings or WR Ryan Swope

I figured I would get some questions regarding my rankings and certain picks, I happen to have Fisher as my #1 LT, followed by Johnson then Joeckel. IMO Johnson is the best athlete of the 3 with the most upside which is why he is my #2 following Fisher who IMO is the most well rounded of the 3. I also think Johnson fits what Arizona wants to do the most of the 3. If Johnson got more push in the run game I would have him #1 overall.

Interesting thought on the win now aspect, I did not think they were under that kind of pressure this year. Having already taken a CB and WR, do you still think they would double down on either spot? I thought about Swope, but passed...

I like the trade down, but I wish we could get more for this years draft than just the additional 184 pick. The 2014 1st rnder would be solid but I just feel like we need to maximize this draft as much as we can for our depth which is severly lacking at some positions.

I like the picks though - Love Barkley @ 22, Woods in the 2nd rnd, and getting a receiving TE in the 3rd. Pretty much building our offense up is a good idea and spend our money on the defense. I think Goodwin might be an overkill in the 4th, and that we would probably go pass rusher at that point if we had not already. I'm having a feeling we will not be going OG like I thought just because Nix said they have 6 people on the roster already that they like for o-line.

Overall good mock.

IF the Niners are taking a CB/S conversion guy it would probably be Amerson. The rest of the mock looks good. I love Alonzo but I don't like the Bostic pick. I like him as a player but they don't need two backup ILB's.

I thought about going in a "this year" type of trade, but IMO the Rams are in the same boat in that regard, and I like the long term value this trade provides to the franchise. The comprimise was the higher of next years two firsts from the Rams. I think with this year being a transition year, I would rather build and see what we have, then have more options next year from which to build with.
As for Goodwin, I had him as the BPA, and thought if they are considering Austin at 8, Goodwin is a possibility and with Johnson, Woods, Graham and now Goodwin they would have a really solid set of recievers that compliment each other, and adds a explosive element to the team. I looked at pass rushers, but did not have any with nearly the value...
I really liked it, especially after having to redo most of it having had Vaccaro at 8, 3 days ago... I think the players are very realistic of what they might end up with at this point, smoke screens aside.

Position ally the skins draft is fine but not crazy about Phillip Thomas in rd 2. I think he's more of 3/4 value. Would rather trade down or take higher value in rd 2. shanny tends to follow best player available at position of need and I do not think Thomas fits that philosophy in this situation.

I actually like Banks as a FS who can play CB, and in both aspects a better fit into the 9ers 3-4. I thought about Amerson, but have Banks rated higher, and like Amerson more as a zone corner who could play Safety in a 4-3. I watched a lot of Banks early tape when he played FS at Miss St. and really liked what I saw, and actually thought he was better suited there as his read and react, instincts and over all awareness were superb.
I could not agree more about the Bostic pick, and changed it to Chase Thomas, which stacks the talent at OLB, and I would agree that they do not need two ILB's.

Interesting thought on the win now aspect, I did not think they were under that kind of pressure this year. Having already taken a CB and WR, do you still think they would double down on either spot? I thought about Swope, but passed...

I think it's definitely possible we'd draft two at WR and/or CB. The WR position is fine for this upcoming season, but Britt and Williams are FAs after this season and Washington has already been on the trading block, if he does make it thru this season he likely won't be around for 2014.

What does this mean? We could potentially only have Kendall Wright and Michael Preston as our WRs in 2014. We have already expressed extreme interest in upgrading the slot position. So therefore, Terrance Williams could play on the outside and Swope take over the slot.

As for Commings, the Titans have expressed extreme interest in him and I am not sure if we have interest in him as a CB or S. At CB, Verner is a FA after this season and at S Pollard is too, Wilson is on a cheap contract that we can get out of relatively easily.

If the Bears could trade down, gain a third and a fifth, and still get Arthur Brown, I could be ecstatic! I don't know how I feel about Amerson but I don't hate it. I really like Barrett Jones as a third round pick, but I would prefer Schwenke. But overall a good job. Three starters plus some d-line depth, A-.

That's not a bad Ravens draft. Greene might be a reach at 32 but I'm a big fan of his. Swearinger is a nice pick in the second round too. As is Bailey in the third round. Mills is okay in the 4th round even though he projects as a RT. It sounds like Baltimore would really prefer to keep Oher at RT. Simon is the only pick don't like much. Even though he has some pass-rushing skills I think he still projects as a SAM in a 3-4 and Baltimore is more than set at that position with Upshaw.

Ertz, Lemonier, and Amerson would be MUCH better than minter in 2. Ertz fills a need at TE and hes a player that shouldnt be falling that much, but with heath hurt this would ease the pain. Lemonier is a guy the steelers brass like a lot as an OLB, another guy that will be a riser on draft day. Amerson could play CB or FS for the steelers (Looovvveeee him as a FS, but hes good in off zone so either way is fine)

In the 3rd round they better take Margus Hunt, hes literally PERFECT to fill in for Keisel. Big body to play DE but athletic enough to stand up and play OLB in a pinch (keisel cant really anymore, but that was how he found his niche in the defense)

Absolutely love the lattimore pick, actually i love any RB pick thats not Leveon Bell but Lattimore is hands down my favorite

Very unique take on the Titans, and I like it. MightyTitan has a point about the win-now deal. But I like the thought of Werner at 25 followed by Warford. Alford seems like a good fit. Haven't paid much attention to the Baylor WR, but I need to check him out. Bray is worth that 4th. If his head is not in his ass, he has serious tools to work with. Did I miss the DaRick Rogers pick? Bray to Rogers still has a nice ring to it.
